  Podcast Studies Roundtable


    An IAMCR pre-conference


We’re delighted to announce a *PODCAST STUDIES ROUNDTABLE* to be held at 
Griffith University, Brisbane on 25 June 2024 – a pre-conference to 
IAMCR24 (starts 30 June) in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Roundtable is a 
bridging event between two major international conferences held in 
Oceania: ICA 2024 (20 – 24 June, Gold Coast, Australia) and IAMCR24 (30 
June – 4 July, Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand).

This one-day event is a rare chance for international podcast 
researchers and practitioner-academics (pracademics) to share ideas, 
develop collaborations, float projects, showcase research and commune.

*Please send Expressions of Interest by 15 MARCH (Deadline extended)*
Abstract submission guidelines

To participate in this event, please submit a 200-300 word abstract 
responding to the suggested themes. Abstracts must include a title, 
author/s name, affiliation, and contact details. Please also indicate if 
your presentation includes audio.

*BACKGROUND:*

Now two decades old, podcasting is an exuberant medium where new voices 
can literally be found every day. As a powerful communications tool that 
is largely unregulated and unusually accessible, it warrants deep 
scholarly scrutiny. Increasing platformisation by companies like Spotify 
and Audible requires urgent critical analysis, to assess their impact on 
diversity, creativity and alternative voices. The mainstreaming of the 
medium is also changing business models. Podcast studies are burgeoning 
across a range of fields from media and communications to criminology 
and gender studies. But the voices and sounds of the Global South are 
largely missing from this discourse.

This Roundtable aims to provoke arguments and debate on such absences 
and to foment research that will reframe our thinking on the potential 
and power structures of podcasting today.  As the close parasocial 
relationship of podcast hosts and listeners shows, podcasting is 
remarkably good at ‘weaving people together’, the theme of this IAMCR 
event. The Roundtable builds on the first-ever podcast studies 
pre-conference held at ICA Toronto 2023 and is sponsored by the Working 
Group MARS (Music, Audio, Radio and Sound), the Australian and Aotearoa 
New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA), the University of 
Tasmania and Macquarie University, Australia.
